Check to see what has been added to the tap water.
My tap water just has chlorine added to it. For my small aquariums, I don't add any chemicals either. When I have finished changing the water, I fill up my container ready for the next change. By the time I use it, all of the chlorine has disappeared. This method will work for you too, since 24 hours is long enough for the chlorine to dissapear. Jim Make sure lonerider wrote in message ...

Is this Ok? 2 emperor 400s and air lifts. I dont add any chemicle, just tap water and a teaspoon of noniodine salt per gallon. 2 months and everyone is happy. Tom The daily dose of chlorine is shortening their lives and stressing them out. Larger, less frequent water changes with properly treated water would be better for the fish. -- billy -- Need tech help? news://news.winextra.com He might be lucky like me, our town adds nothing to the water other than lime. Just a little alkaline so my guppies like it. Larry |
